i have been a casual fan of trent since quake. i love his creepy analogue atmospheres.
have loved closer ever since i heard it (a different version) in the underrated movie 'the fan', which stars bobby deniro as a twisted knife salesmen - and has a few renzor tracks on. my preferred version though has the best warbled bassline ever.
a few days ago i am watching a documentary and i thinking that the score sounded reznor-like, i look it up, and sure enough he had two tracks on the doc.
are there any fans on here? i know he has a wealth of material i haven't even touched on. if so provide some of your tracks. i heard trent worked out of a morgue. not sure if that is true, but i know he is heavily into his hardware.
i keep nearly watching the facebook film, purely because he scored it. but i have so far resisted. also, trent's original version of hurt is better than cash's :tongue3

yes a fan since Quake myself. listened to some NiN before that, but the soundtrack really opened my eyes for him

This came way late in his career, but it convinced me to check his work further:
The added imagery didn't hurt. :p

Whether you watch the movie or not, the soundtrack is well worth checking out. "In Motion" and "Pieces Form the Whole" would have to be my favorites. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo score is probably the better work, but it's darker and more cinematic. I just noticed he and Atticus Ross scored Gone Girl as well, so I'll have to check that out.
I'm a NIN fan in general, and though some tunes can be hit or miss for my tastes, Trent has continued to produce some gems through every phase of the band's metamorphosis. If I had to have only one album, though, it would be The Fragile, as it has the greatest range and depth. "The Great Below" is just amazing...
And I almost forgot, the Niggy Tardust album with Saul Williams is dope too.
